It's certainly related, but I don't think the 2.4 changes were the cause.

What is almost certainly happening is that GTK is changing the locale,
which effects the conversion within the python-sybase modules C code.

If python-sybase used the new interface (when available), that would
hopefully eliminate this problem. Someone who uses locales want to find
the offending conversions and post a patch?
